  • Publication number: 20200218754
    Abstract: Partial-image search criteria are derived that include a combination of multiple partial-image user selections of portions of at least one image. Visual search results are returned responsive to a search for images that correspond to the derived partial-image search criteria. The visual search results include at least one identified image that includes features that correspond to the derived partial-image search criteria that include the combination of the multiple partial-image user selections.

  • Publication number: 20200143565
    Abstract: According to at least one aspect, a system for scanning an object is provided. The system comprises at least one hardware processor; and at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing processor executable instructions that, when executed by the at least one hardware processor, cause the at least one hardware processor to perform: generating a first 3-dimensional (3D) model of the object; identifying a set of imaging positions from which to capture at least one image based on the first 3D model of the object; obtaining a set of images of the object captured at, or approximately at, the set of imaging positions; and generating a second 3D model of the object based on the set of images.

The system comprises at least one hardware processor; and at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing processor executable instructions that, when executed by the at least one hardware processor, cause the at least one hardware processor to perform: generating a 3-dimensional (3D) model of an object at least in part by analyzing a first plurality of images of the object captured using a first scanning device; generating a texture model of a texture of a material at least in part by analyzing a second plurality of images of the material captured using a second scanning device different from the first scanning device, the material being separate and distinct from the object; and applying the texture model to the 3D model to generate a textured 3D model of the object.

  • Patent number: 10571266
    Abstract: A user may be aided in modifying a product that is an assemblage of parts. This aid may involve a processor obtaining images of a target part captured by the user on a mobile device camera. The processor may compare, based on the captured images and a plurality of images of identified parts, the target part to the identified parts. Based on the comparison, the processor may determine an identity of the target part. This aid may also involve a processor obtaining images of a first configuration of a partial assembly of the product captured by a mobile device camera. The processor may compare, based on the captured images, the first configuration to a correct configuration of the partial assembly. Based on the comparison, the processor may determine that the first configuration does not match the correct configuration and may notify the user accordingly.

  • Patent number: 10565547
    Abstract: Examples of techniques for generating an inter-store inventory transfer are disclosed. In one example implementation according to aspects of the present disclosure, a computer-implemented method may include defining a subset of stores of a plurality of stores to fulfill inter-store inventory transfer request for a product category of a plurality of product categories. The method may further include, responsive to determining that an order for a product of the product category cannot be fulfilled by one of the stores of the subset of stores of the plurality of stores, determining, by a processing device, an alternate store of the subset of stores to fulfill the order.

  • Patent number: 10565761
    Abstract: A system, method and computer program products for prioritizing the stacking order of virtualized objects within a z-index of an augmented reality system by presenting the most valuable, relevant or important information more prominently. Prioritization of the virtualized object may occur dynamically, as a function of the user's primary focus. As the user's primary focus changes from one physical object to another, the stacking order may change in response to the shift in focus. Embodiments may use one or more techniques to identify the primary focus such as the direction of the user's gaze, the focal point of one or more visual recording systems (i.e. cameras) or the user may manually highlight one or more objects via the HUD or interface of the augmented display system. The disclosed embodiments allow for the more predominate or relevant virtualized objects within the augmented display to receive priority, unobscured viewing by the user.

  • Patent number: 10558815
    Abstract: Approaches presented herein enable evaluating a multimedia item to be posted to a website (e.g., social networking site, forum, blog, etc.) to determine whether a censoring action needs to be performed on the multimedia item prior to posting the multimedia item. Specifically, in response to a request to post a multimedia item to a website, the multimedia item is analyzed to determine a context of the multimedia item. The context may be derived from specific elements depicted in the multimedia item. Also, an entity (e.g., a person, logo, trademark, brand) may be identified. The preferences related to the entity are retrieved. The context is compared against the preferences of the entity to determine whether a variance exists. When a variance is determined, a censoring action related to the multimedia item may be performed prior to posting the multimedia item.

  • Patent number: 10540703
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to the field of product supply networks (e.g., for order fulfillment and inventory control). In one specific example, mechanisms are provided for presenting visualizations to aid in co-locating two or more products in the same location (e.g., at a common order fulfillment facility) based upon associations between the products. In various embodiments, systems, methods and computer program products are provided.
